Daughters of Rabia is a collection of Afghan women's writings in defense of their human rights. The book, published in 2013, was published by two Afghan activists, Noorjahan Akbar and Batul Muradi. Later, Noorjahan Akbar created the Free Women Writers blog to continue publishing women's writings in Persian, Pashtu and Uzbeki. Since then, the blog has expanded to include hundreds of articles, poems, narratives and essays about gender equality, environmental concerns, economic inequality, democracy and other social justice issues and reached tens of thousands of Afghans. This website is the English translation of these writings. Read the Persian book here: tinyurl.com/DaughtersOfRabia
